Cuisine Quick & Easy
- 1 can sheet dough
- 1 cup marshmallows
- 1 cup mandarin oranges + juice
- ½ cup cashews chopped
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 4 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Strain the mandarin oranges, reserving about 1/4 cup of the juice. Combine the oranges and brown sugar in a skillet over high heat. Simmer until the juices have evaporated and the oranges start to caramelize. Drain any excess liquid and mash the oranges.
Open the can of sheet dough and unroll it. Evenly spread half of the chopped cashews and the poppy seeds across the dough. Use a spoon to distribute the mashed orange mixture over the dough.
Roll the dough into a log and slice it into eight evenly sized pinwheels. Place each roll in a greased 9x9 baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.
While the rolls are baking, use a double boiler to melt the marshmallows. Add the corn syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the double boiler and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a bit. Spread the marshmallow cream over the tops of the rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!
